Explore Community Health Centers

Community health centers provide access to all, including low-income working families, the medically underserved and uninsured, and high-risk and vulnerable populations, including the homeless, public housing residents, migrant farmworkers and people isolated from other forms of care because of financial, geographic, language, cultural and other challenges.

Some health centers also receive specific funding to focus on certain special populations including migrant agricultural workers, those experiencing homelessness, and residents of public housing.
